Combined MD Degrees

M.D./Ph.D. Program: The School of Medicine and the Graduate Division have developed a joint M.D./Ph.D. program. The candidate must be admitted independently to both the UCSD School of Medicine and the Department of Bioengineering (via the Medical Scientist Training Program). The Ph.D. requirements of the joint degree are the same as those listed in item.

M.D./M.S. Program: This is offered to M.D.’s who wish to learn more about engineering. A medical student who undertakes this program and fulfills the normal requirements of an M.S. degree in the Department of Bioengineering will be awarded a joint M.D. and an M.S. in Bioengineering. Students interested in this program should contact a faculty member for further information.
